80% Off at Restaurant.com

At Restaurant.com , you can purchase a gift certificate for participating restaurants for just a fraction of the price. Right now, you can save 80% off their already discounted price when you use the code NAPKIN. So, you can buy a $25 certificate for $2 or a $100 certificate for $8. You have one year from the purchase date to redeem the coupon.

Two words of caution I have for you:

1. Read the fine print VERY carefully. There are usually stipulations about the total amount you must spend on your bill when you redeem a gift certificate or other such rules and limitations.

2. They will not issue you credit back to your credit card if you have a problem. I bought a certificate for a local restaurant that closed before I redeemed the certificate. On the phone, Restaurant.com said they would only issue me credit to their website, not back to my credit card. Not a huge problem, as long as you are aware of their “no cash back” policy up front.
